Soil applied boron combined with boron-tolerant bacteria (Bacillus Sp. MN54) improve root proliferation and nodulation, yield and agronomic grain biofortification of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. )

Soil applied boron combined with boron-tolerant bacteria (Bacillus Sp. MN54) improve root proliferation and nodulation, yield and agronomic grain biofortification of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. )

Chickpea is widely cultivated on calcareous sandy soils in arid and semi-arid regions of Pakistan; however, widespread boron (B) deficiencies in these soils significantly decreases its productivity. Soil application of B could improve chickpea yield and grain-B concentration. However, optimizing sui...
